EnterpriseSCHEDULE
Installation Notes
5.26 Version 7.4.12 Changes and additions
Several new features have been added and numerous errors discovered and
corrected in this version of EnterpriseSCHEDULE. They are listed below.
5.26.1 General Changes
- New MONTHLY rescheduling mode - New rescheduling
mode allows the ability to schedule jobs on a monthly basis. Jobs can
be scheduled using criterion such as "FIRST TUESDAY" or "THIRD FRIDAY"
of all or select months of the year.
- Added Job Variables to Job Definition - Job
Variables have been added to Job Definitions with increased size
allowance of both the name (50 characters) and the value (200
characters). An infinite number of Job Variables may be added to a job
to supplement the previous limit of 8 Parameters. In addition, Job
Variables may be included from other jobs. Parameter tab in Job
Property page has been reformatted to include color coded listing of
Parameters, Job Variables and Included Job Variables.
- Added "View Server Log" selection from Job
explorer - Server log may now be viewed from the Windows
Client by right clicking on the server in the Explorer View and
choosing "View Server Log".
- Added "IF condition THEN FAILJOB" resource - A new
resource condition has been added to cause a job to fail if the
condition is met. This was implemented to force initiates to not be
submitted in a job stream if a job fails because a resource condition
is met.
- Job History window added to Windows Client - Job
History may now be viewed from the Windows Client in a multi column
listing. Job History is accessible by right clicking on a job or folder
in the Job Explorer or a job in the Layout and Monitor.
- Allow two or more levels within the New > Job from...
prototype selection menu - Allows multiple levels of job
prototype menus when selecting New > Job from... in the Windows
client. Increases the ability to categorize prototypes.
